Vancouver to Singapore “Around the World” luxury train
Train travel has been seeing a resurgence post-pandemic, as we’re focusing more on slowing down and appreciating the small moments.
If scenic train rides in Asia aren’t quite doing it for you, what about one that takes you around the world? There’s an Around the World luxury train package which lets passengers explore 13 countries in 4 continents. And, you don’t have to choose a specific train journey, because this package will let you experience 7 of the world’s most luxurious trains.
What is the 80-day Around the World train?
Instead of one long train journey, the Around the World by Luxury Train experience is a package by Railbookers, a company that manages a collection of independent rail vacation itineraries around the world. You won’t be spending the entire journey on a single train, but instead, transferring between 7 different train services:
- Rocky Mountaineer: Vancouver to Jasper
- Belmond Royal Scotsman: Edinburgh to London
- Venice Simplon-Orient-Express: Paris to Venice
- Maharajas Express: Delhi to Mumbai
- Golden Eagle Danube Express: Istanbul to Budapest
- Rovos Rail: From Pretoria to Cape Town
- Eastern & Oriental Express: Singapore to Penang
It’s not all rail travel, either. Travelling between some of the cities will require you to hop on a flight.
